Spanish Crisis
Modern Spain was born from the Spanish Crisis. In mid 1975, the Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco dies and the Kingdom of Spain was restored under King Juan Carlos I. King Juan Carlos I decided to transition the country to become a democracy. He appointed a conservative prime minister while calling for an election the same year. The socialist parties surge ahead in the polls and won the election but were unable to form a stable government. King Juan Carlos I decided to keep his prime minister under a minority government. Rumours of a communist coup and an invasion from Portugal quickly spread through the streets of Madrid. This did not stop the King from his plans to transition to democracy but it greatly alarmed the President of the United States of America, John M. Ashbrook.

Ashbrook devised a plan to invade Spain and establish a Francoist dictatorship to prevent the socialist from gaining power in the future. A highly decorated US general exposed the plan to the UN General Assembly on 20 October 1975. Facing with this reality, King Juan Carlos I decided to end the transition to democracy and declared martial law in the country which continues till this day. The King now has absolute power over his country.
